What home means to me

A structure is not a home, it is what is inside the home. Some people think home is a house or a structure, but for me it is what's inside of that structure because a house can be anything or anywhere, but a home is a place where you feel free, where you do not worry about anything, where you feel like you belong there not anywhere else. Home for me is when I feel loved, cared for, safe, and pretty. A place where I feel like me and nobody else, a place where I do not feel pressured, where I am calm, loved, and relaxed. Home can be anything, but nothing will feel like a home if you do not feel loved where you are. A home is anything but family friend's and teachers, that is your home some people need a roof, but I need family I can be anywhere, but I need my family. Family is home to me? A house is not a home, a home is where you make memories, where you have fun, where you play! A house is not a home a home is your family? I love my home and am incredibly lucky to have one knowing that not everyone has one? Which is why I am writing this because everyone deserves to feel happy, and everybody needs to come back from wherever they are, and think I have a house to sleep in and a family in that house, memories to look back on and that is especially important because when you are born you are supposed to have a nice house with food and water, but some people do not have that. My mom always told me you never know how much it helps someone even if you just give them 5 dollars? Thank you for reading my word document!!! And I hope that my writing can build someone a home?
